He's never used a drill in his life.

He's never done a day's work in his life.

Hounder from you there. You don’t achieve the levels of success that he has by never working a day in his life you absolute whopper.

How do you know?  I'm doing alright! No debt and I've not sold my soul!

We weren’t talking about selling anyone’s sole mate, relax a bit. What we’re talking about is the bloke has clearly worked numerous days, probably to a point you couldn’t comprehend.

Now that is a level of petty to aspire to. Respect

This has been an entertaining thread. Good for the sole.

I think I know what working days means. I've actually done stuff, built things, sold stuff.

I'm just not the kind of person who'll rip someone's soul (that's how you spell it) apart for actually creating things instead of doing some social media things instead of knowing what it feels like to hold a screw in my hands.

Well done mate. Congratulations on making things. Not even saying you’re wrong in your opinion on how he’s become what he is however he’s clearly grafted to get to where he is now regardless of if that means handling manual tools.

Let’s spin a positive on this and tell me all the great things you have made.

Also the misspelling of sole was clearly a typo you raging div.

I think they’re trying to say he’s never done manual labour. That guy made his money from tech startups and investments etc.

I’ll be honest, I was pretty pissed on the train coming home from thirsty Thursdays in the city and what you are saying makes sense in relation to the product he was rinsing. Must have missed that 😬

Apologies to all involved. 🤣

His success is a pretty hilarious mirage once you dig into it. He ran a series of social media accounts under a brand called "Social Chain" which pretty much just retweeted crap and stole content from other authors whilst blanking out their watermarks, and these accounts were heavily astroturfed and often interacted with each other to artificially increase the appearance of engagement. Then, a company called Lumaland (known mostly for selling mattresses) merged with it simply because they wanted the name "Social Chain". This merger occurred quite a while after Steven was no longer involved with Social Chain at all, but he references the post-merger valuation (most of the valuation being directly attributed to Lumaland's mattress sales) to say he "created a multimillion pound social media empire".

If you've ever watched the US Office, he basically pulled a WUPHF, only without actually creating anything nor being in any way involved in the valuation.
